Any improvements that can be made? shall i swap the Powercolour PCS+ Myst.Edition for a GTX650ti Boost? i would like a different case but i dont know if its worth losing out on the GPU power, what about the CPU? any better similary priced options?

Btw- £600 budget so is there a way i can get the price under £600?
